CUNY New York City College of Technology

What is the cost of studying for a year at CUNY New York City College of Technology?

For the 2024-25 reporting year, City Tech's published full-time undergraduate tuition was $6,930 for New York residents and $14,880 for nonresidents. Reported required fees were $402 in either category, bringing the respective tuition-and-fee figures to approximately $7,332 and $15,281 for that year.

• New York resident, full-time undergraduate: $6,930 tuition plus $402 in reported required fees.
• Nonresident, full-time undergraduate: $14,880 tuition plus $402 in reported required fees.
• Reported books and supplies estimate: $1,364; transportation, food, housing, and personal expenses are additional.

These figures are not a complete cost of attendance. Because City Tech does not operate undergraduate housing, a student's living expenses depend on their own arrangements, while commuting costs can vary substantially across the city. Part-time tuition, residency determinations, and program-related supplies can also change an individual bill. Students should use City Tech's current-year cost-of-attendance budget for a complete annual estimate rather than add expenses from different reporting years.

Financial aid can reduce what a student pays. Eligible students may seek federal Pell Grants, New York State aid such as TAP, CUNY or college scholarships, and federal loans by completing the applicable FAFSA and state-aid steps. Some students may qualify for additional opportunity-program assistance or veterans' education benefits. In the reported aid data, 86% of students received financial aid, while 5% had student loans; neither figure predicts a new applicant's award.

For a sense of costs after grant aid, the reported average annual net price was $4,606 for students in the lowest listed family-income band and $7,886 for those in the next band. Net price is an average for a defined aid-recipient group, not a quoted bill. Residency, family circumstances, enrollment level, and eligibility determine the amount an individual student ultimately faces.

What are the work-study opportunities at CUNY New York City College of Technology?

City Tech students may pursue Federal Work-Study if their financial-aid offer includes it and a suitable position is available. Work-Study is a need-based student employment program: an award sets an earnings limit, but it is not money paid automatically, and students generally must find a job and work the scheduled hours.

Other campus jobs may be available outside Work-Study, and internships are a separate form of experience with their own pay and credit rules. Students should check City Tech's financial-aid and student-employment instructions for eligibility and hiring steps rather than assume that every campus position accepts Work-Study funding.

City Tech's career services provide support beyond student employment, including individual and group career counseling, résumé preparation, interview workshops, employer recruitment, and job-search resources. These services can help a student seek an internship or post-college position; their availability is not evidence that an applicant will receive a job offer. Students in majors that incorporate practical experience should also ask their department whether an internship is required, optional, paid, or credit-bearing.
